The emerging amphibian disease chytridiomycosis is caused by the fungal pathogen
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibian populations and species differ in …

Amphibians have been affected globally by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the
fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), and we are just now beginning to understand …

The pathogenic chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) can cause precipitous
population declines in its amphibian hosts. Responses of individuals to infection vary greatly …

The disease chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus Bd has devastated amphibian
populations worldwide. Functional genomic contributions to host susceptibility remain …

Our understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms generating variation within the highly
polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes remains incomplete. Assessing …

Genetic diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes is linked to reduced
pathogen susceptibility in amphibians, but few studies also examine broad spatial and …

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of functionally related genes
encoding proteins which, among other functions, mediate immune system activation. While …

The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd), has contributed to the decline of Chiricahua leopard frogs (Rana …

Maintenance of genetic diversity at adaptive loci may facilitate invasions by non-native
species by allowing populations to adapt to novel environments, despite the loss of diversity …

Infectious diseases are causing catastrophic losses to global biodiversity. Iridoviruses in the
genus Ranavirus are among the leading causes of amphibian disease-related mortality …
